We'll see how many empty seats there are, which will prove Mr Graham correct...

please can you provide the exact number of empty seats required for him to be proven correct?

[quote="philipk"]I dont see the problem with James voicing an opinion - he is entitled to it and nobody criticises those players who are quoted as being in favour of it , so if he's a lone voice so be it-

A Number of Club officials have reservations about this event and with good financial reason - it makes very little for them for the work they have to do.

Im not a Killjoy and i will accept that many fans enjoy the event but in a healthy debate people must be allowed to dissent . ive never been in favour of the event even going back to when it was first brought up in 2006 and visiting Cardiff didnt do anything that changed my View.

Expansion a la Celtic and Catalan yes , Weekend jollys which distort the fixture list ( and that is unarguable ) we can get on just fine without.[/quote]

I agree with him.

There is absolutely no publicity for it up here, I live within 30 minutes of Murrayfield, the only Scots who seem aware of it are the ones I have invited through work. Strikes me as a no more than an excuse for the rugby league fans to go and get ruined for a weekend away.

Graham could be seen as coming across as a 'complete tool' or 'utter weapon' here though, I don't see what he achieved by opening his mouth.

I agree with Graham. I'm not a fan of MM.

Its a lot of money for a regular fixture, and its also an extra fixture which isn't needed. IMO, every team should play each other home and away and that's it before the play-offs.
